Earlier today I have installed GitHub CLI package on my windows 10 machine, while I was writing an article about how to install and config GitHub CLI on windows. for that purpose I have installed Scoop and use it with running scoop install gh to install the CLI. two hours later GitHub released CLI version of 1.5.0. I am now trying to updating my gh version with scoop running scoop update gh but the output in the Windows PowerShell says it's already updated and refers to version 1.4.0 as the last version.
Updating 'main' bucket...
Checking repo... ok
The main bucket was added successfully.
Scoop was updated successfully!
gh: 1.4.0 (latest version)
Latest versions for all apps are installed! For more information try 'scoop status'
I appreciate any insight on how I might use scoop to update a package GitHub CLI.
I have tried that out the next day, and it worked.
The output massages from running scoop gh update itself provide the answer that is:
scoop run it's sniffing process over a large number of libraries, and that's the reason for the delay before it update it's references. It refers to period of time between event occurrence and data availability, the Data Freshness rate could be daily or Time Zone related for the scoop platform.
I am providing the output here:
